Let's focus on the injury of Canada's Andreescu. An fat, who was injured in the fourth round match against Russian Alexandrova in Miami, announced his injury through social media this morning. "The results showed that two ligaments in my left ankle were torn. It is difficult to say how long it will take to recover, only that it could be worse. I will take my time day by day and I am optimistic that with the right treatment, rehabilitation and preparation, I will soon be back in the ring. ”
Since his debut, Andreescu has repeatedly withdrawn from the game due to injury, and has been dubbed "Glass Man" by many fans. This year, her form has picked up little by little, and her record is not bad. I thought I could return to the top and hit the championship again, but I still refused to leave her because of the injury. I wish her a speedy recovery!
